Work is currently in progress for the holy grail in classic arcade
Mortal Kombat fans for an
online multiplayer version of
Mortal Kombat II. In the same fashion that
Digital Eclipse worked with
Microsoft in debuting
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for
Xbox Live Arcade for the
Xbox 360,
Sony Online Entertainment is working with
Digital Eclipse to bring
Mortal Kombat II on the
PLAYSTATION Network for
Sony's PLAYSTATION 3. The first screens have been released for this title, which will most likely feature a stretch widescreen option from the
Xbox Live Arcade version of
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
The first of the
previously announced classic
Midway arcade games are scheduled to be released in
"early 2007". Hopefully classic arcade
Mortal Kombat fans will be able to play multiplayer online in both
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and
Mortal Kombat II on both the
Xbox 360 and the
PLAYSTATION 3. But for now, each game is slated to remain only on one platform.
